  • Kami Fumi-e

    Open AccessRiccardo Montanari, Philippe Colomban et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025Referencias: 4

    There has been long-standing debate as to whether Kami Fumi-e (paper images to be trampled on) had actually been used in image trampling sessions as part of the 250-year persecution of Christianity enforced by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Sacred images of Christianity officially recorded to have been trampled on are housed in the permanent collection of the Tokyo National Museum and are almost uniquely made of metal alloy. The controversy regarding pa…

  • Archaeometric Investigation of Artificial Stone Materials from the Theatrum Marcelli (Rome, Italy)

    Open AccessMaria Aantonietta Zicarelli, Michela Ricca et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025Referencias: 7

    This study illustrates the results of minero-petrographic and microchemical investigations of artificial stone materials (mortars, plasters, and bricks) taken from the Theatrum Marcelli (Rome, Italy). To achieve this objective, the artificial building materials were analysed using Polarized Optical Microscopy (POM) and a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) used in backscattered electron (BSE) mode and coupled with an Energy-Dispersive Spectrometer…

  • Non-Invasive and Micro-Invasive Analyses for Supporting the Attribution of Three 17th Century Wooden Crucifixes

    Open AccessMaria Francesca Alberghina, Salvatore Schiavone et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025

    This research deals with a multi-analytical approach to characterise three polychrome wooden crucifixes attributed to Fra’ Umile da Petralia or, in one case, close to his style. The analysed wooden sculptures belong to (1) the Sanctuary of Saint Umile from Bisignano (Cosenza, Italy); (2) the Santissimo Crocifisso Church at Cutro (Crotone, Italy); (3) the Saint Salvatore Church at Gangi (Palermo, Italy). Fra’ Umile (Giovanni Francesco Pintorno) wa…

  • European Smalt in 17th-Century Japan

    Open AccessRiccardo Montanari, Philippe Colomban et al.ARTICLEHeritage2024Referencias: 8

    Japanese art tradition, contrary to the case of China, is characterized by an efficient and continued, although mostly undocumented, use of smalt from the late 16th century onward. Recent studies have successfully identified this pigment, the cobalt-colored glass that spread throughout the Old Continent during the Renaissance period, as the coloring agent employed for overglaze-blue enameling on Japanese porcelains produced at the kilns of Arita …

  • Archaeometric Study of Two Tanagra Type Statuettes of Unknown Provenance to Support Forensic Study

    This paper is concerned with a morphological-stylistic and archaeometric study of two small pottery statues, confiscated by the Cosenza Carabinieri Unit for the Protection of Cultural Heritage and Anti-Counterfeiting (Calabria, Italy). The research aimed to establish the authenticity of the artworks and to verify a possible origin from the same workshop manufacturing, by providing indications about the textural features and raw materials used for…

  • How Many Secret Details Could a Systematic Multi-Analytical Study Reveal About the Mysterious Fresco Trionfo della Morte

    Open AccessMaria Francesca Alberghina, Salvatore Schiavone et al.ARTICLEHeritage2019Citada por: 2Referencias: 1

    The “Trionfo della morte” is a detached fresco painting dated at the half of the XV century. Its history is strictly connected with the history of Palermo and it is considered a symbol of the late Gothic period. Some small areas of the fresco were analyzed using a combination of non-invasive techniques and hand-held instrumentations (multispectral imaging analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and IR spectroscopy). The characterization of the nature…
